You know that feeling of existential dread that consumes your mind and body, thoroughly ruining your week in advance, and making you question if it’s even worth it to continue on? That’s me. 😔🥺

The “average autistic person pays zero taxes” factoid is actually a statistical error. The average autistic person actually pays over ten thousand dollars in taxes per year. Emerald Mine Elon, who is a billionaire and regularly commits tax evasion, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Bluesky’s new “Followers Only” reply option seems a little underbaked. One can simply follow, reply, and unfollow. It hardly curbs “reply guy” behavior at all. Adding a 2-Week Following Minimum to the option (like Tumblr has) would’ve been a MUCH better solution.

In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Miles’ per hour it’s at an all time high.

It took this guy 5 years to figure out where the heat comes from but now he's up to speed and on it.

It’s crazy how fast the Bluesky community went from “Use the block button and curate your own experience! Broad rules hurt minorities and artists disproportionately and shouldn’t be relied on. 🤗” to “We need to strengthen the community guidelines and ban anything that makes me mildly uncomfy.”

just want to send a singnal out there that while assholery may be tolerated by the powers that be i won't tolerate it and i know how to use the block button.

“Child safe packaging” my ass. That coin-cell battery pack just tore multiple of my fingers to shreds.

“Bluesky is just Twitter for the left!” - People who once complained that Twitter was Twitter for the left.

A serial killer with hundreds of stabbing victims is killed by one of his victim’s relatives: “What a vile man. He got what he had coming.” A CEO with hundreds of THOUSANDS of systematic victims is killed by one of his victim’s relatives: “YOU PEOPLE ARE BARBARIC! HAVE SOME EMPATHY!!”

Damn. I hope that hotel wall is okay.

A trans woman made Grimes cum harder than Musk ever could’ve dreamed of, and we’ve all been forced to bear witness to the fallout ever since.

I just realized that Apple Music Replay only works on songs you’ve streamed. This is so useless to me. I guess I’ll just go sink back into my cave with all the music I own.

Something that worries me about Bluesky is how it’s following in Mastodon’s footstep in one really bad way: The general consensus is “wow! This place is so positive! And the interaction rates are so good!” But the problem is that it’s only previously established accounts saying this.

The character limit sucks, but if Bluesky introduced editing posts AND hidden tags (in the first-party app), I’d ditch Matthew “Trans Woman Sexual Harasser” Mullenweg any day.

When I was little, I didn’t know that the Disney “D” was actually a “D.” I always assumed it was a fucked up lowercase “t,” and I was always so confused as to why they put it front of “isney” instead of a “D.”

Wow… more performative activism with a side of problems without solutions? Bluesky you shouldn’t have…

Sometimes I like to get down and lay on the floor. While I’m down there it’s quite an eye opening experience. I’ve never seen the floor from this perspective. Like, wow. This is how bugs see my house. Craaaaaazy.

Some hours of the day, the AC hum from my ceiling fan gets particularly noticeable, and I just-

I’m so tired of fast phone chargers. My phone battery is BOILING, girl. Gimme that slow shit. I miss the 5W, Apple in-box adapter days. Better yet, I need less. Gimme 1 Watt chargers.

my husband has been gone four days

If you've been following my Christmas light saga... this year's video has made me happier than ever! youtu.be/qSFNufruSKw

I got this new AHA Exfoliator liquid, and I’m not sure about it. Part of me worries the “smooth skin” effect it causes is just my skin being slightly melted by the acid, every day.

Space Heaters scare me. Like what do mean this stupid little heater that’s only good for a single room cost me $170+ a month to run???

Roman Numerals and Ramen Noodles collab where we end up with an Alphabet Soup-esk dish called Roman Noodles.

Social media is usually pretty empty for me, but this place is especially so….. I love it. Nobody cares about the crackhead screaming in the middle of an intersection when the intersection is in a desolate city with maybe two passerby on a good day.

The IIHS making aesthetic crashcore videos with Animal Crossing music was NOT on my 2024 bingo card. 🥴

Anytime you see a social media post that upsets you, ask yourself “what do you want me to do about it?” If the answer is “I can’t do anything about it,” block and move on. Life is too short to entertain unproductive negative opinions.

Conservatives are so desperate to be the victims that they’ve resorted to calling it oppression when they’re told to shut the fuck up on Bluesky dot app.

Captain: “Now that we’ve made it to the west coast of this new continent, what should we name the ocean?” Crewmate With A Lisp: “This specific ocean?” Captain: “…Perfect.”
